Telluride, United States - August 06, 2025 Wildlife officials in Colorado shared footage of a bear skillfully opening the door of a home near Telluride and walking inside. The security camera video, posted by Colorado Parks and Wildlife Southwest Region on social media, shows the bear rising on its hind legs, pushing the door handle with its paw, and calmly entering the house. Officials warned that bears learning to open doors can lead to serious conflicts. “Our officers have dealt with bears in homes around Telluride and Mountain Village a lot this summer,” the post said. “We know of bears entering multiple homes in one night, multiple bears entering the same home in one night, etc.” Residents experiencing bear break-ins are urged to report incidents immediately. “Too often we get reports of bears getting into homes and apartments multiple days after the first incident has occurred. The earlier you call CPW, the better it could end up for you and the bear,” officials added.
